‘Godfathers of climate chaos’: UN chief urges global fossil-fuel advertising ban

"António Guterres called on news and tech media to stop enabling “planetary destruction” by taking money while warning the world faces “ crunch time” in its faltering attempts to stem the crisis."

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/05/antonio-guterres-un-chief-fossil-fuels-advertising

WATCH which news outlets carry this story. That separates the adults from the ones who take candy from the fossil fuel industry.

Could it happen here?

"In general, restrictions must demonstrate that something about the campaign is false, misleading or illegal.

In theory, lawmakers could tackle by requiring them to include warnings about the dangers they pose to the planet.

At the end of 2020, Cambridge, MA, became the first U.S. city to require labels on gas pumps warning of the risks that gasoline, ethanol and diesel pose to human health and the environment."

United Nations chief derides big oil companies as "godfathers of climate chaos," then calls for a global fossil ad ban.

The New York Times, one of the biggest purveyors of fossil fuel ads, does not respond to a request for comment.

If you think major media companies should be FORCED BY LAW to stop running ads, please this.

New hot take after spending countless hours going through years of accumulated paperwork at my elderly uncle's: every mailing that is an advertisement should be required by law to have the words "this is an advertisement" printed on both sides of the envelope or postcard, with FTC enforcement power.
The quantity of deceptive, time-wasting mailings my uncle has received is appalling. This simple law would fix that.

Having the joke explained to you will never be as funny as getting it.

Which is what happens when we borrow interest, instead of doing our own identity work.

It's what's happened with Scarlett Johansson and OpenAi. Bette Midler and Ford. Tom Waits and Frito-Lay. The list will go on.

More on borrowed interest and the enshittification of everything:

After the 2016 election, brands became activists in weird and wonderful ways. "Burger King championed net neutrality; a frozen-meat brand soliloquized about the perils of disinformation on social media; on January 6, Axe body spray declared its faith in the 'peaceful transition of power'," writes Vox's Michael Serazio. The political landscape today is as fraught as then and the world is picking sides. But brand-land is silent. What gives?

Remember when streaming services used to promise an ad-free experience? Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and HBO Max all launched on that premise, and one by one, those services are now adding in commercials in exchange for a slightly lower subscription price.

People are buying it too. Subscribers opting for ad-supported tiers are on the up, along with streaming bundles that feel a lot like the cable TV of old. Is it just us, or does the future of TV feel quite familiar? @nytimes has more (gift link).

The project I'm best known for - the documentary THE ILLUSIONISTS (https://theillusionists.org) - was released almost 8 years ago. So many things have changed since then! I wrote about this on my personal blog: https://newsletter.elenarossini.com/revisiting-the-illusionists-8-years-after-its-release/

Topics include:

We updated our essay on revitalizing classified ads in local publications with a software specification in development called flohmarkt that offers an open-source backbone for want ads, as well as a mechanism for running classifieds from neighboring publications.

Thanks @killick @smallcircles for ideas and tip

My view out the window riding the city bus today. Bus wrap #advertising makes travel miserable. Advertising wrap over bus windows says to bus riders that they dont deserve a view of their city or a comfortable ride.
